Pivotally eachof the mounted in the lower end of push rods 46-and 47-as at 50 and 51-are-'the connecting rods-52 and 53. The

connecting rod 52 has the lowerend there of pivotally secured to bell crank .leven54 whichds pivotally mounted as. at55fon memthe verber 14 and the other end of said bell crank lever has pivotally secured therein one end of a connecting rod 56, the other end of said connecting rod being pivota-lly secured as at 57 in bell crank lever 58 which is fixedly mounted on shaft 59 mounted in members 14 and 16,-=and-theother end of said bell crank leveruis pivot-ally secured to the'lower end of connecting rod 53 as at 60.

Shaft 59 passes laterally thru the machine and has loosely secured thereon a short lever 61 which is pivotally connected to a connecting'rod' 62 as'at "63, and this connecting rod ispivotally secured on a bolt 64 mounted in lever 65 -which lever is pivotally mounted at its lower end as. at 66 in bar 15:' Fixedlysecured to-shaft 59 in anysuit'able manner, such as by set screw 59a, is a plate-67 having? pins "68 and 69 therein. The pins 68 and- 69;

allow-- a'certain amount of lost motion in lever 61 before the shaft 59 is rotated. Whenlever=61- engages pin 69 push rods 46 and 47 I are lowered to lower'reed 33 and when:

The parts justdescribed and being mount eel on-bar 18 are termed as the second leas- Bfl'ing meansand the first "leasing means are identical andare shown in Figure 1 as being mounted on bar-19; leasing means comprises a block 190 slidably mounted T on bar 19 having a roller 191 '33? mounted thereon by means of pin 192 which is adapted to be engaged bythe upper end of le-ver 86 for moving'the leasing means into operativeposition.v This sliding block MM 190*has a-projection 193 thereon'to which is securedone end of a tension spring 194 which is mounted-on roller 195 in brackets 196. This spring has its lower end secured as at 197 in the end framemember '11.

Block 190 has the upwardly projecting portion 198 secured thereto withthe hollow pipe portion 199 l integral therewith having the enlarged opening-200, similar to-opening 135in'Figure10.

The block 190 has a notch; not shown, but

similar to the notch 144 in Figure 10' and is also adapted to be engagedby lever 210, similar in'all respects to the lever of which portion 181 is a part Atension spring211 is securedbetween the lower end of lever 210 and another lever 212 181 to which is secured one One half of the first which is'in all respects similar'to lever of which147 is a part in Figure 10.

ing a part of the first leasing means is a block I 225 having'roller 226 thereon adapted to be engaged by lever 78 for moving the leasing means into operative position with regard to the leasing means199 just described.

The levers 78 and 86 are slidably mounted in guard members 227 and 228 secured to bar 17 and spaced thereiroinso that levers 78 and 86 may slide between the bars-227 and 228- respectively and the bar 17.

Sliding block 225 has secured thereto a tension spring 230 which is mounted on roller 231 secured in'brackets 232, mounted on plate 13 and this tension spring230 has its lower end connected as at 231 to the portion '11 of the framework.

Pipe 236 has a pointed portion 241 on the. end thereof which has a slot'242 therein for the holding of the knottedend of the leasing thread 238 before the same is tied as at 245 as shown in Figure 4.

Sliding mounted thereon as at 246 a dog member 247, similar in all respects to 'the previousdog members, which is adapted to'be held in vertical position by portion 122 of guard plate 120 to hold the leasing threads in position until the leasing members are withdrawn quickly from the warp when the leasing operation is being completed. i V

Block 225 has a notch,-not shown, similar to notch 175 in sliding block 160 which is adapted to beengaged by a portion of lever 212 similar in all respects to the lever of which 147 is a part in Figure 10.

Plates 1 2 and 13 have means thereon for supporting spools of thread 249 and 248 from which the leasing threads can be drawn for insertion into the leasing means as needed.
